Wonder who the 75-80 people in the audience will be?

More of those "uncommitted" voters who have Democratic facebook pages?

If everyone is being tested before, why does it matter as the entire place will be sterile.

Shake hands

Is Biden going to wear a mask? The pic of him with Kamala, arms raised, wearing their black masks, is just evil looking i.e. “the dark side”, IMO.

What nonsense - neither man has COVID-19 - it'd be hard to find two men in the world less likely to have it. Pure theater.

The media will play it as Trump being disrespectful.

Biden won’t shake hands but then he’ll probably fondle the first female stage tech who wanders by.

The media have already written their stories on the debate. They have already decided that Biden won the debate. They have already that Biden forcefully and courageously took on Trump, and bested him.

It doesn’t matter that the debate hasn’t happened yet. They already have their stories written.

Biden would forget who he is to introduce himself, look at Trump and say who are you and why am I here?
